Moments Worth Listening For

The seamless transition from the Serenity Prayer intro into the rhythmic acoustic strumming of These Eyes.

The heavy, resonant piano chords on This Too Shall Pass that ground the vulnerable admission of emotional bankruptcy.

The way the percussion drops out during the bridge of Wings of Forgiveness to emphasize the Nelson Mandela comparison.
